To all whom, it may concern:

This invention relates useful improvements in tooth cleaners, the object being; to provide a tooth cleaner in the form of a thread or [loss having a knob at each end to facilitate the manipulation of the cleaner in cleaning the teeth so as to remove foreign matter from between the teeth for cleaning the teeth.

Another object of my invention is to provide a tooth cleaner which is so constructed that it can be readily packed in a small box so that the cleaners can be rarried in the pocket to be used as desired.

Another and further object of the invention is to provide novel means for securing the knobs in the end of the thread so that the) will be rigidly i'astt-ned thereto.

lixtending transversely through the knob to certain new and at right angles to the bores 5 are bores I) which intersect the bores 33 and into which are adapted to be driven plugs it so as to securely fasten the ends of the threads in the knobs as clearly shown in Figure :2.

In securin the ends of the threads in the knobs, l preterably employ a cement so as to fasten the threads and the pings (i in position.

\Yh ile l have shown a tooth cleaner formed of a thread having knobs secnrei'l on its ends, in a aware that these particular manner, I am knobs can be secured in various ways without departing from the spmt of my invention.
